36 hour boys

That's a VERY good point to keep in mind. I don't think eating enough for 3 workouts a week is really much of a problem, but it's interesting to realize that you don't have to stuff so much for 2. But like Joe, I have a totally erratic schedule, and I'm always having to try and get the workouts in I've been eating for or trying to eat for the workout I did.
There's a lot of credit due for a controlled enviornment - you young guys with regular jobs make me jealous!

That was hilarious, O&amp;G!

So true, too. I've seen a lot of things work for guys, and there are a million ways to mix and match exercises, frequencies, rep schemes, etc.

Waterbury, 5x5, HST, WSBB, and lots of others. Even with HST, lots of variations are possible. Workout with reasonable frequency, add weight to the bar over time, work hard but don't overtrain, eat enough, and you can make progress with a lot of schemes. I think the real trick is learning how to adjust things when progress slows or a routine isn't doing what it should for you. What's ideal for someone may change over time.

I'm still interested in hearing more people's experiences with this, though, to see what has or hasn't worked better for them.
 
personaly i think people worry to much about overtraining,if your diet rest and workout is spot on i think it is very difficult to overtrain.

we are built to work,and not twice a week everyday.

if you look at the ironage lifters like steve reeves etc they did a lot of volume,they had great bodies and were natural,we have the benefit of better diet supps etc .

imho i dont think you could build a great body with only 2 workouts a week,and i dont care what the studies say.

A game of balance. If you regularly eat 10,000 calories a day, then by God, you should try to workout every 36 hours! Or every 24 hours using an A and B split that goes really heavy.

For the rest of us mere mortals who have to exert a ton of effort just to get to 4000 cals, 3x a week full-body is enough. I personally use less frequency and less exercises when I know I'm so busy that 1.) I'll never have enough time for my regular workout and 2.) I'll never be able to get all those calories in.

Worked ok for me so far. Really a game of balance, and sometimes that's the hardest thing to do!

Oh yeah? Try that when you're 53 and you'll wind up weighing 1000 lbs!
